Bruce Lee
Bruce Lee was a Chinese American martial artist, actor, and director. He is still regarded as the most influential martial artist of all time and the artist who changed the way Asians were portrayed in American films.
He gained more international fame after starring in five feature length martial arts films in the early 1970s: Lo Wei’s The Big Boss (1971) and Fist of Fury (1972); Golden Harvest’s Way of the Dragon (1972) – all directed and written by him, and Warner Brothers’ Enter the Dragon (1973) and The Game of Death (1978).
Unfortunately, the martial artist and actor died in 1973 at the age of 32. According to autopsy reports, his brain was significantly swollen and he had a substance from a pain killer in his system, which probably caused his death. The film Enter the Dragon (1973) was released a month after his death.
